Film 1012: Hard Candy

Trivia: When they were filming the scene where Hayley implies that everything Jeff thinks he knows about her is a lie, producers asked if they could include a line where she states that she was actually 18 years old rather than 14. Ellen Page was adamantly against the suggestion because she thought it undermined the premise of the film.

The inspiration comes from Japan. Producer David Higgins had read reports of Japanese schoolgirls ambushing men who surfed the Internet for underage dates and later developed the story.

Patrick Wilson briefly passed out due to overexertion during filming of the intense surgery scene.

Because Ellen Page shaved her head for her previous film role, during the audition she was mistaken for a boy. The effect was so off-putting she had to put on a wig, where she then gave a phenomenal reading.

Since the last two days of the shoot were the scenes set in the coffee shop, they were a nice change of pace for the actors and the crew. All the scenes set in Jeff's house were grueling for everyone.
